I'd like to ask how to determine which process (or program) keeps a partition in state "busy" so that umount will refuse to unmount this partition. I found this when going into SUM for checking and maintenance, so I think it would be good to check which program still accesses files on a specific partition allthough it should already be terminated due to the different "stop" mechanisms run for the services in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d respectively, which is performed by init, if I understood this correctly.
Example: % shutdown now ... going SUM, starting sh ... # umount /home # umount /tmp # umount /var # umount /usr umount: unmount of /usr failed: Device busy # umount -f /usr # mount -o ro / # fsck ... blah blah ... It would be good to be able to check why the partition is in state "busy" and possible terminate / kill processes that cause this. Using the force (-f) seems to be unneccessarily unfriendly. =^_^= Thanks for suggestions! -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
